THE WONDERFUL REPORT
Concerning the Coming Of Christ.
Preached by Rev. j. J. Hail.

Rev. IL. Hoyey, d. D.. preached in the
Second Congregational church, from Isaiah
1871: who hath believed our report?''
Faith and unbelief are moral opposites
Unbelief has been the great sin of all ages.
and it begets all the rest. Men would not
lie, steal and murder, if they believed Gods
word. Unbelief is the curse of the world
and the bane of the church. Why do men,
whom we would so gladly see saved, reject
the facts of religion? Tie ancient prophet
brought such wonderful report concern
ing the coming of Christ that men would
not believe it. And so now, the remarkable
nature of religious facts is made an Obiec-
ton. We are told that God is almighty:
yet men break his laws. He is Just. yet
pardons rebels. Mercful yet millions suffer
and die. Wise, yet made this globe on
which we dwell, knowing that it would be
full OF sin, shame and sorrow. Lord Of all,
yet makes 1t condition of His blessing that
we should bring in tithes. He is immutable.
yet answers prayer. He is supremely
glorious, yet was made manifest in the flesh
and hung on the cross. He promises to
give the victory to his church. vet puts in
visible weapons in its hands. He lets the
righteous pass through deep waters and
fiery trials, but assures them that heaven
strate facts like these by mathematics, and
it will be a failure. But apply experimental
proofs and they will stand the
closest scrutiny. Millions have found the
promises of God true, and declare that the
Chistian faith is a good thing to live by and
blessed to die by. Men take other remark
able statements as amatter of course. Tell
them about cascade of fire from the towers
OF an ice palace; or about an eclipse of the
sun, and they will not think of doubling
what is said. Why will they then push
aside the mighty facts of religion? The
reason is that those facts are at war with
mems prejudices. False convictions get
hold of them and will not let go. One of
these is that God Is far off and takes no
particular notice of what they do or say
No amount OF testimony as to divine judy
ments or answers to prayer. seems to satisfy
some people. Many protesting Christians
would live better than they do, did they
remember that God sees them. Things above
reason are not necessarily contrary to it.
Religion is always harmed by narrow,
bigoted, illiberal notions; and pure reason
should walk hand in hand with pure faith,
for they are sisters. The main reason why
sinners reject religion is because they love
sin. They wish the Bible were false, and
hence they persuade themselves that it is
so. Errors Of the heart are worse than err
rorS Of the head. Wonderful as the facts
of religion are, they must be taught. and
God will reveal his will to those that love
his service. No good can ever come from
sacrificing the truth at the bidding of pas
sion, prejudice or pride. Repent of known
sin. trust in your crucitied Redeemer, and.
III heaven at last, you will forever rejoice
that You believed the wonderful report.

views concerning the second advent OF Our
Lord and to encourage Christians were the
objects of Peter in writing this epistle
Herein he shows that God never works in
hurry; that we must not measure Gods
eternity by our hOur-glass of time, and that
objections similar to those offered against
the return OF Jesus Christ and the final
overthrow OF the present state Of things
might have been raised with equal force
against the destruction of the world by
water in the days of Noah. We are in

HELP SOLVES TaEE PROBLEM.
Rev. ThWing DiScOurses ON the
Emily a, 60

Rev. Th wing DlSc0urSeS ON the
UaiIy Christian E.ife.
Rev. Charles f. Thwing, the past II of
Plymouth church, preached from John
xvii, 10: Il pray not that thou shouldest
take them out of the world, but that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil" He
said: The pious life and the secular are
supposed to be foes. The monastic idea
still lives. The pulpit, it is thought ought
TO be hoiier than the pews. The world is
frequently conceived as so evil that if you
do not get out Of it it will get hold on you.
The problem, therefore. is how to keep the
highest ideals the deepest Christian faith
in healthy and wholesome relations, how to
be not Slothful in business, yet ever serving
the Lord. This problem is not solved by
doing business in a half-hearted way, nor
bv lowering the standard of holiness. Help
in the solution Of this problem may be had
bv % TRANSPORTING our worldly interests
through the power of a great affection for
Christ; GU by knowing that high type of
piety permits the doing of the COM
mon duties; (3) by knowing that the
performance of LIES common duties gives
substance to piety and steadiness to its
progress; and AZ by knowing that Gods
regard for our work is measured by its
Christian influence rather chan by its ma
terial and visible importance. In word.
the daily life and the Chistian life may be
maintained in right selection by devotion
10 Jesus Christ as the ideal of all living and
the motive for its attainment.
